Since the early modern era, food of England has historically

been characterised by its simplicity of approach, honesty of flavour, and a reliance on the high

quality of natural produce. This has resulted in a traditional

cuisine which tended to veer from strong flavours, such as garlic,

and an avoidance of complex sauces. Traditional meals

have ancient origins, such as bread and cheese, roasted and

stewed meats, meat and game pies, and freshwater and

saltwater fish.

Modern English cuisine is difficult to differentiate from British cuisine as a whole. However, there are

some forms of cuisine considered distinctively English. The full English breakfast is a variant of the traditional British fried breakfast. The normal ingredients of a traditional full English breakfast

are bacon, eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast,

and sausages, usually served with a mug of tea.

 Black pudding is added in some regions…

AMAZINGLY, black pudding doesn`t have the traditional sense we`re accustomed to. In fact….black pudding, blood pudding or blood sausage is a type of sausage made

by cooking blood or dried blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. In the UK, black pudding is

considered a delicacy !

…as well as fried leftover mashed potatoes called Potato cakes.

Tea and beer are typical and rather iconic drinks

in England, particularly the former. Cider is produced in the West Country and, more

recently, East Anglia, and the south of England has seen the reintroduction of vineyards producing high quality white wine on a comparatively small scale.

Roast beef is a food traditionally associated with

the English; the link was made famous by Henry Fielding's

patriotic ballad

"The Roast Beef of Old England", and William

Hogarth's painting of the same name. Indeed, since the 1700s the phrase "les rosbifs"

has been a popular French nickname for the English.
